NOTE 11: CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS<br />

364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement: On September 29, 2010, we entered into a $300 million senior<br />

unsecured 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of<br />

lenders. The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement provides for the extension of credit to us in the form of<br />

revolving loans at any time and from time to time during the term of the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, in<br />

an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $300 million. Borrowings under the 364-Day<br />

Revolving Credit Agreement will be denominated in U.S. Dollars. The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement may<br />

be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (excluding hostile acquisitions) and may also be<br />

used to support any commercial paper that we may issue.<br />

At our election, borrowings under the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest either at LIBOR<br />

plus an applicable margin or at the base rate plus an applicable margin. The interest rate margin over LIBOR,<br />

initially set at 1.75 percent, may increase (to a maximum amount of 2.25 percent) or decrease (to a minimum<br />

amount of 1.25 percent) based on changes in the ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt securities (“Senior<br />

Debt Ratings”). The base rate is a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent,<br />

(ii) SunTrust Bank’s publicly announced prime lending rate for U.S. Dollars or (iii) LIBOR for an interest period of<br />

one month plus 1.00 percent. The interest rate margin over the base rate, initially set at 0.75 percent, may increase<br />

(to a maximum amount of 1.25 percent) or decrease (to a minimum amount of 0.25 percent) based on our Senior<br />

Debt Ratings.<br />

The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain customary covenants, including covenants limiting:<br />

certain liens on our assets; certain mergers, consolidations or sales of assets; certain sale and leaseback transactions;<br />

certain vendor financing investments; and certain investments in unrestricted subsidiaries. The 364-Day Revolving<br />

Credit Agreement also requires that we not permit our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to total capital, each<br />

as defined, to be greater than 0.60 to 1.00 and not permit our ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net<br />

interest expense, each as defined, to be less than 3.00 to 1.00 (measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the<br />

rolling four-quarter period then ending). We were in compliance with the covenants in the 364-Day Revolving<br />

Credit Agreement in fiscal 2011. The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain events of default,<br />

including: failure to make payments; failure to perform or observe terms, covenants and agreements; material<br />
